Is JJK Mojuro Related to the Jujutsu Kaisen Manga Series?
Now, the biggest question is whether Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is related to the main Jujutsu Kaisen series in any way? Well, the answer is a big yes, as you might have caught from the title. Gege Akutami has confirmed that Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo will be a spin-off manga set in the mysterious universe of Jujutsu Kaisen. While the Modulo manga is not a direct sequel, it can be considered a spin-off sequel similar to how the Boruto series is to Naruto.
Next, if you are wondering how Gege Akutami connected his new manga to his magnum opus work, JJK, this answer is going to blow your mind. Remember Okkotsu Yuta and Maki Zenin, who are in the list of the strongest JJK characters of all time? Well, their grandson, Okkotsu Tsurugi, and granddaughter, Okkotsu Yuka, are confirmed to be the new protagonists leading the Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo series.
What Is the Story of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo?
Since JJK Modulo is a spin-off manga, you might be wondering what Gege has in store for us apart from the sorcerers vs. curses we had in the Jujutsu Kaisen manga. Well, the answer is it’s sorcerers vs. aliens, along with curses this time. After Simurians (an alien race) landed on Earth, Okkotsu Yuka and Tsurugi, who aspire to become the strongest sorcerers, have to find out whether to co-exist or clash against them.
You can also check out the official synopsis of the JJK Modulo, according to Shueisha’s Manga Plus here:
It’s been 68 years since the Culling Game. In 2086, an alien race known as the Simurians arrive on Earth in a spaceship. The fate of the world lies in the hands of two jujutsu sorcerers Yuka and Tsurugi Okkotsu. Jujutsu sorcerers and aliens, what chaos will be born from this meeting?
How Many Years After Jujutsu Kaisen Is JJK Modulo Set?
Jujutsu Kaisen Mojuro is essentially confirmed to take place after the events of the main JJK series, i.e., after Sukuna died at the hands of sorcerers. So, if you are looking for a proper timeline of Modulo, i.e., how many years after JJK is Modulo set, we have deduced it based on the already established timeline of the JJK series. The main events of the JJK series starring Yuji, Nobara, Megumi, and more were set in 2018.
Now, the cover page of Gege’s new manga confirms that Mojuro is currently taking place in 2086. Therefore, we can certainly say Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo takes place nearly seven decades after the main events of the JJK series. We have detailed the information about JJK Modulo’s timeline in a dedicated article.
Main Characters of Jujutsu Kaisen: Modulo
As I mentioned earlier, Okkotsu Yuta and Maki Zenin’s grandchildren will be the main characters of the Jujutsu Kaisen series. In the JJK spinoff, Gege has introduced a new trio – Yuuka, Tsurugi, and Maru. Furthermore, Gege is introducing a new alien character to form a new-gen shonen trio. They are as follows:
- Okkotsu Tsurugi: The grandson of Yuta and the elder brother of Yuka. Mentioned to have very minimal cursed energy, like Maki and Toji used to do. Aims to become a strong sorcerer like his grandma, Maki, and return the ring to his sister.
- Okkotsu Yuka: She is Yuta’s granddaughter, who vows to become strong to acquire Grandpa Yuta’s ring.
- Maru: A Simurian (an alien race from outer space), assigned the mission to gather intel about humans to decide whether they can co-exist with them or not on Earth.
Are There Aliens in Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo?
In a surprising twist of events, Gege Akutami is incorporating the mysterious concept of Alien into his new manga Modulo. Yes! Aliens are now canon in the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. The new series starts with Simurians, aliens who also possess cursed energy, settling on Earth. An alien character named Maru is confirmed to be one of the main members of Modulo’s protagonist trio.
We will learn more about the alien characters’ role and how central they will become to the plot of Jujutsu Kaisen Mojuro in the upcoming chapters.
What Is the Meaning of Mojuro?
There is no clear definition for the mysterious term Mojuro at the time of writing. However, we tried to break down the term, and the best we could come up with was “Boy Who Consumed Curses” or “Boy of a Hundred Curses.” Moreover, Mojuro could also be a Japanese transliteration of the English word Modulo used in the title. We recommend checking the meaning behind the Mojuro theories article to try to figure out the reason.
And that’s everything you need to know about Gege Akutami’s new manga, JJK Modulo. Gege pulled off an unexpected move and returned to the world of his most beloved work. Let’s see how he will continue to build upon the JJK-verse in his new manga. That said, do you think Gege made the right decision to do a JJK spin-off sequel? Let us know in the comments below.
Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo/Mojuro is the title of the upcoming JJK spin-off manga by Gege Akutami and Yuji Iwasaki.
We don’t have a direct sequel at the moment, but Gege’s new JJK spin-off manga is called Jujutsu Kaisen 3 Modulo.
Yes! Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo is a sequel and spin-off of the main JJK series. It takes place 68 years after the death of Sukuna and follows the lives of Yuta and Maki’s grandkids.
Yuji was mentioned once in the debut chapter of JJK Modulo. Since the story takes place after nearly 70 years, Yuji could either be seen as an old man in the future chapters or could have passed away already like his seniors, Yuta and Maki.
